Tindakan NGO mengarut'

Nadzmi tak tunduk desakan letak jawatan presiden BAM

PRESIDEN Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) Datuk Mohd Nadzmi Salleh tidak akan tunduk kepada sebarang desakan atau melayan tuntutan daripada mana-mana pihak atau pun individu supaya dia meletakkan jawatannya akibat kegagalan di kejohanan Piala Thomas, baru lalu

Nadzmi turut menyifatkan sebagai mengarut tindakan lebih 200 orang – yang mendakwa mewakili pertubuhan Gabungan NGO Malaysia – yang mengadakan tunjuk perasaan di ibu pejabat BAM di Bukit Kiara, kelmarin, yang menuntut supaya dia meletakkan jawatan

Malah Nadzmi tidak menolak kemungkinan bahawa ada pihak atau individu yang cuba menangguk di air keruh, dalam keadaan badminton negara ‘masih merawat kedukaan’ di Piala Thomas.

“Tindakan mereka mengarut,” kata Nadzmi, semalam. “Saya masih presiden dan tidak wujud perkara sedemikian (meletakkan jawatan). Bukan mereka yang pilih saya sebagai presiden sebalik ahli gabungan.

“Kenapa saya harus tunduk kepada desakan mereka? Saya tidak menolak kemungkinan ada pihak yang cuba menangguk di air keruh dengan situasi yang melanda badminton ketika ini,” katanya.

Kelmarin, kumpulan yang menggelar diri mereka Gabungan NGO Malaysia menyerahkan memorandum kepada Pengurus Besar BAM, Kenny Goh menuntut supaya barisan kepimpinan badan induk badminton negara berundur.
Sambil menafikan mereka ditaja atau mewakili pihak atau individu tertentu, pertubuhan mereka mendesak BAM supaya bertanggung jawab sepenuhnya tanpa menyalahkan mana-mana pihak terutamanya pihak media di atas kegagalan skuad Piala Thomas.

Tindakan menyalahkan media dan pihak lain tidak dapat diterima pakai sama sekali ‘ibarat membaling batu sorok tangan.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
